Yalies Arrested in Miss.

Fourteen student civil rights workers were arrested yesterday in Indianola, Miss., for distributing leaflets without a permit while campaigning for Aaron Henry, Mississippi NAACP president, who is running for governor of Mississippi.

The students, including three from Yale and one from Michigan State, are all workers for the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee. They are each being held on $50 bond.

The three Yalies were part of a group of 50 students who have left college for several weeks to work in Henry's campaign. The campaign is primarily an effort to publicize the Negro voter registration movement.

SNCC spokesmen in Atlanta, Ga., said last night that Indianola officials had violated an agreement made with the Justice Department in August, 1962, which stipulated that the Alabama authorities would not prosecute SNCC workers for voter registration activity.

At a Civil Rights Coordinating Committee meeting here last night, SNCC field secretary Robert Zelinar charged the federal government with inaction in Southern civil rights crises.

Zellner was unaware of yesterday's arrests at the time.
